About SOOTY
SOOTY is a local asset manager for designers who need to browse, organize, and search large libraries on Mac. It opens collections quickly, supports images, RAW photos, video, audio, fonts, documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, Markdown, code, and 3D models, and can import Eagle folders, tags, ratings, and notes.
On-device AI searches images by description, recognizes text, suggests tags, and can find similar images while working offline. Combined filters cover color, tags, formats, folders, ratings, dimensions, dates, and metadata. Libraries remain ordinary folders with readable metadata.json files, and plugins, MCP tools, a local API, browser saving, and undoable changes extend the workflow.
